Every character is special in thier own ways. Therfore, there is no "best" character.Having said that, Everyone has their own favorite character, and mine is PIT.Here's why:

PIT CAN GO ANYWHERE!!!! :Pit has 3 maxamum jumps(most characters have 2), his Up+B move (which reaches very far areas), & a glideing move that can go on 4ever (just as long as u keep moving the joystick, don't bump into anything, or change the opposite direction u'r going).IN THE TEMPLE STAGE, I CAN GO FROM THE FAR RIGHT(WHERE U JUMP UP 3 LITTLE AREAS 2 REACH THE TOP) ALL THE WAY 2 THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN & BACK 2 WHERE I WAS WITHOUT TOUCHING THE FLOOR ONCE!!!! I'd like 2 see another character do that!

Distance isn't the only good thing about Pit:

Pit's oveall speed is average, but his attacks r fast!He also has a lot of moves that rack up HP fast & has a some power hits that finish the job when needed!

Pit's moves dodge things easily without even having 2 use the L or R+ Left or Right. If u have 2 dodge, u can do that as well!

Another cool thing about Pit, is he can reflect projectiles! He just whips out his sheild,reflects the projectile, & hits the enemy ! They don't even know what hit 'em! Since this reflect move is so fast, it can b used in between moves, & is a great defence move!

PIT IS AN AWESOME CHARACTER, but a lot of people don't like him. I think its bcause they either can't reach him, or they just can't kill him/knock him off the stage. If a lot of people don't like him, he must b good, otherwise there wouldn't b a lot of attention drawn toward PIT (good or bad).

The best one for fighting strategy is Sheik cause she is fast and has powerful hits, to become sheik you have to chooce zelda and do the bottom power move.

Other good ones are

:Sonic, Snake, Link, Ike, and suprisingly, Lucas

If you are looking for a good smash move the best is Sonic cause you can move and fly freely and you can kill anyone with over 25% easily, I have gotton 6 kills before in one use of Sonics smash move.

Others:

Lucario (Another good one since it will easily kill everone on map if you know how to use it)Zelda/Shiek, Kirby, Snake (Another one that can get you over 3 kills in one use, hard to use though)and Link

He's like the 3rd heaviest character. He's the strongest character by far. No on else can kill by just doing their regular A attacks. He's pretty fast for his strength and weight too.Plus, they gave him great range.He has the strongest projectiles.His up-smash can go the highest.Both his bombs can kill easily.

Metaknight, Pit, Toon Link and Snake.Metaknight is fast, really fast. He's not very powerfull and he's very light, but because he's so tiny, most projectiles will just fly over him! He has five air jumps, and he can glide twice (once with his up-B) .Pit has the most awesome recovery in the world, and his arrows are awesome if manipulated correctly. And his Down-B can last as long as you want, making it the best shield in the game. Toon Link is just plain broken. He has any kind of weapon (bombs, boomerangs, sword, bow and arrow, chain etc) and his chain makes chain grabbing a piece of cake. And his Dair and Up-Air are awesome. And he's freaking fast!Snake is a powerhouse. He weighs a ton, yet he's quite fast. His recovery is great, and combining this with his Down B, he has an infinite vertical recovery. His granates are barely visible, so they can catch many foes off-guard. Other great characters are Kirby, Marth and King DeDeDe.

Your best bet for an average player is Luigi.Your best bet for light, quick attacks is Kirby or Meta Knight.Your best bet for strong giants is King DeDeDe or Bowser.My personal favorites are Luigi and Wario, but that's just me. It's your choice, so pick your favorite.

Depends on your kinds of playing. My favorite is Falco, I'm the best with him, then Pit, because of his moves, and then maybe Link, He has a good attack. But you might fight differently then how I do. So just practice with every one. I'm sure one of them is your best.
